HelpRe: Kyra
in reply to a message by Amandine
1) If you met someone named ky-ra how would you assume it was spelled and what would be your favorite spelling?
Just by hearing the name, I would assume it was spelled Kaira(h). I think that's just because in my immediate location, there are a ton of names spelled more phonetically and so it's become a common place assumption. With that particular pronunciation I'd say Kairah to make it a little more obvious. Although, I've actually seen Qayrah pronounced Kigh-rah.
2) If you saw Kyra on paper, how would you prononce it and what would be your favorite pronunciation?
If I say Kyra on paper, I would probably assume it was pronounced Keer-ah. That's my favorite I suppose since it's the one I'm more familiar with.
3) Do you think it is trendy or formerly trendy (dated)? If so, to which decade?
It was really popular in my area seemingly every decade or so. So there was a bit of an increase in popularity in the late 80s, then the late 90s, and again in the late O0s. It sort of dropped off by then in my area but it had enough of a staying power to be familiar without being overly popular. Currently, I'd say it might be rising.
4) Do you like it?
I like it well enough.
5) Which image do you get from it? What would a Kyra be like?
I typically think of a female with either Eastern European heritage, Norwegian/Swedish heritage, or Celtic heritage. I think spunky, vivacious, and bold.
6) Do you prefer Kiera, Kira, Keira, Ciara, Kayra? Do you pronounce them the same?
I prefere Kiera, Kira, Keira, Kyra.
Kiera - is pronounced Keer-ah or Key-rah to me as I've heard both in real life.
Kira - is pronounced Kigh-rah or Keer-ah as I've heard both.
Keira - is pronounced Keer-ah or Key-rah as I've heard both.
Ciara - depends for me. If I'm talking to one of my friends who's full blooded Irish, he pronounces it Keer-ah, but if I'm talking around my area, everyone pronounces it Cee-are-ah like the singer who married Russell Wilson (I live in a suburb of Seattle so Seahawks are huge.)
Kayrah - is pronounced Kay-rah to me.
